Phillips told police he was driving in the right lane along I-75 near Rochester Road when he saw a vehicle approaching quickly from behind.

The vehicle hit his 2001 Honda CRV and sent it towards the ditch, and then it rolled several times, officials report. Phillips said the car was in the air at one point.

"I did have enough sense to put the emergency brake on, put it in park and take the keys with me," said Phillips.

Phillips was able to escape the overturned vehicle before it burst into flames.

Officers on the scene said a witness told them the vehicle that caused the accident appeared to be traveling at around 100 miles per hour.

Police spoke with the driver of the speeding vehicle -- a 23-year-old Troy man -- and found that he smelled of alcohol and was unable to explain how or why he had rear-ended the vehicle into the ditch.

Both drivers were transported to Beaumont Hospital in Troy with non-life threatening injuries.

The suspected drunken driver was charged with operating while intoxicated.
